I actually also enjoy watching rafa plays. It's just that I really really hate watching when he was not playing (ie. butt pickings and touching himself endlessly, same with Djokovic's endless ball bouncing).

Given how divided this forum is in terms of the top four, I wondered if there are any on here that genuinely don't dislike one (or more) of them.

Personally I am a fan of Nole the most but enjoy Federer and Nadal as players and have no resentment towards Murray. Everything on here is so polarised it's difficult to express this

I semi dislike both Murray and Djokovic, varying from a degree of hate to finding them a tiny bit endearing at times in the calendar year. I pretty much dislike them the majority of the time though because they're ass holes, Djokovic with his cockiness and shirt tearing off and Murray with his whiny school year behavior

I love Roger because he's classy and a gent, although he's been a bit arrogant and self deluded in recent times, and I absolutely adore Rafael Nadal although I have SMH at times with him, such as opting out of Australian Open only to be training on clay the same week....

Me. I used to hate Nadal in the past but now I miss him. Tennis isn't the same without him.

I agree with this, tennis is pretty boring without Nadal. draws feel less exciting, he is like the X-factor, especially in hard court tournaments, you never know if he's going to be a threat and get to the end of get knocked out before the latter stages

and just his personality and charisma. the other guys don't have it! the intensity, the VAMOS! it's just missing on tour right now. his absence I think has confirmed that even beyond Federer, Nadal is the most valuable asset to the ATP and the tour in general. he adds so much flavor and interest.
